Zooplankton Compositions

Aggregation Level

Cluster count

ASVs in at least

Remove b/a Agg.

Convex Hull N/Y

Geo weight

Depht as Rank N/Y

Abs of the Latitude N/Y

In process

First and more straight forward method = counting the number of different ASVs in each sample.

Here the idea is to verify if the clusters created in the compositions, are geo-spatial coherent.

The first try was to, given the clusters:

sum the distances between samples within the same cluster
- related to Latitude and Depth - Using the Euclidian distance (no transformations until now)
- related to Abiotic Features (Temperature, Salinity and Pressure)
